Broncos' Nix-focused Draft, Quiet Free Agency

0:00On April 1st, Bronco's boss's Greg Penner, George Patton, and Sean Payton drop key updates at the NFL owner's meetings in Phoenix. Payton fully chose the handplay calling to Davis Webb. No pressure involved. They're not trading any wide receivers, even with Jaylen Waddle joining the squad to keep Bonix's options stacked. Nick's is ahead of rehab schedule after ankle surgery and ready for organized team activities. Patton says they're eyeing running backs in the draft and beyond, especially with J.K. Dobbins' injury passed. No big defensive line replacement for John Franklin Myers yet. They're banking on depth from Iyoma, Uzzurike, and Syvian Jones. Jonah Ellis will mix in at Inside Linebacker for more versatility. Fans might question the choir free agency, but it's all about Nick's rookie deal, ticking down only two cheap years left. They prioritize known guys like Adam Troutman for blocking, and grabbed Waddle in a blockbuster trade. That confidence in the core roster screens belief in last season's near Super Bowl run.

1:03Back up quarterback spot is wide open. Sam Ellinger and Jared Stidham will battle it out. Penner confirmed the new stadium at Burnham Yard stays on pace for 2031 opening. With 18 million in cap space and seven draft picks, Bronco's are primed to build around Nick's without force moves. He's now on draft a fireworks.
